Sgt Reckless / Animals in War & Peace
Sgt Reckless Memorial Fund is a dba for Angels Without Wings, Inc., a California 501 (c) 3 corporation. This arm of AWW is dedicated to raising money to build national monuments for the amazing Korean War hero horse, Sgt Reckless, who was so heroic during the Korean War she was OFFICIALLY promoted to the rank of Staff Sergeant by the Commandant of the Marine Corps! Life Magazine has her listed as one of our greatest heroes.
The first monument was placed at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, VA and was dedicated on July 26, 2013. She also has an exhibit inside the museum as well. The second monument is at Marine Corp Base Camp Pendleton, CA where she lived out her days after the war and is buried. This monument was dedicated on October 26, 2016. A third monument was dedicated on May 12, 2018, at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, KY. Three more monuments are in place at a horse farm in Barrington Hills, IL (2019), The National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame in Ft. Worth, TX (2019), and the World Equestrian Center in Ocala, FL (2020). This is an incredible story of an amazing war hero, and we are so pleased to be able to finally honor this horse in the manner she so richly deserves. Animals in War & Peace is also a dba for Angels Without Wings, Inc., and we award animals that have served our country on the war and home front with the Animals in War & Peace Medal of Bravery, and the Animals in War & Peace Distinguished Service Medal. We are also working on providing traveling exhibits to tell the stories of these incredible heroes. Check out their stories at https://AnimalsInWarAndPeace.org.
